Target details

Target details

Cell cycle checkpoints are regulatory mechanisms that prevent cell cycle progression in the presence of DNA damage or incompletely replicated DNA. Many of the genes required for cell-cycle arrest are also involved in DNA repair, apoptosis, and induction of transcription. In yeast and humans, hRAD9 plays a role in cell cycle arrest during the G2 phase before entry into mitosis. Phosphorylated hRAD9 is found in the nucleus after DNA damage, and forms DNA damage-responsive complexes with other putative checkpoint control proteins, such as hRAD1 and hHUS1. Expression of hRAD9 in S. pombe rad9::ura4+ cells restores resistance to the DNA synthesis inhibitor hydroxyurea and gamma rays. In addition, hRAD9 binds the anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL , and antisense hRAD9 RNA suppresses DNA-damage induced cell death. Thus, hRAD9 may be an important component of protein complexes that regulate cell cycle progression, as well as apoptosis, in response to DNA damage.
